In the race for Division 1, Rob Mason with the Mini was too quick in the corners for the Abarths of Swart and “Pam”. Another threat initially was the 1000 cc Escort of Hickman, but this fell back after a few pit stops with a flat battery. First it was thought that the Sunbeam Imp of Peter Harper was everyone’s favourite, but it went out with internal maladies. When “Pam” fell by the wayside (electrics), the finishing order became Mason, Swart and Hickman. After the start, they were fourth after ten laps and closing in on the leaders, when disaster struck in the form of a broken valve rocker. It was repaired in a cool 22 laps, and they started all over again, in the end finishing 21 laps behind the winner Quester, finishing 12th in the end, second in class. A non-starter had been Pankl, who had crashed heavily in practice and sustained serious injuries. |
